ArchivesBATSON, LOWRIE, LAURIE as last names.
Any suggestions on the names BATSON and LOWRIE?
BATSON: As my great grandfathers last names, I believe he was primarly German and Manx (from the Isle of Mann, off the coast of England). Pronouced BAT-sin.
LOWRIE: I suspect it is a German name, although it looks Irish to me. When my ancestors came over they varied the spellings like LAURIE, LOWREY, LAUREY etc. I do not know the original spelling. Pronounced LAW-er-ee.

Hi Aviseenah,
Batson is an English surname meaning "son of Bate [=Bartholomew]"
Lowrie doesn't sound German either. I would guess that is has got something to do with the first name Lorentz/Lawrence/Laurens etc...
Best regards,
Judith
